Canada encourages citizens from all over the world to come and settle in the country, based on obtaining permanent residency status, through a special program designed for businesses, under the categories of managers, entrepreneurs, and self-employed individuals. This government program, which comes as a state strategy to enhance positive immigration to Canada, is based on the growing desire for professional and business cooperation to take place on its soil, through these business immigrants, who will manage the business interaction and strengthen financial and commercial ties with other business people from other countries around the world.

Business-based immigration to Canada can be done through several tracks, depending on your business profile and the type of investment you intend to make. Here are some main options:

• Business Immigration Program: Canada offers several programs designed for entrepreneurs, business owners, and investors. These programs include, among others, the Start-up Visa program and the Investor Visa program.

• Start-up Visa Program: If you have an innovative business idea and you are interested in establishing a business in Canada, you can apply for this program. You will need to obtain support from a designated organization, such as an incubator or private investor, who will agree to assist you in establishing the business.

• Provincial Nominee Programs: Some Canadian provinces offer unique immigration programs for entrepreneurs and business owners. These programs vary from province to province, so it is advisable to check the specific requirements for each province.

• Immigration through Work Programs: If you plan to establish a business and need workers, you can consider applying for a temporary work permit or applying for specific positions for foreign employees.

The Canadian Holy Trinity

If you are managers by professional training and have a certain type of managerial experience of over two years, if you are entrepreneurs and start-up founders developing any product or service, and if you are self-employed with any business and want to immigrate to Canada – the federal business immigration program to Canada is the program for you. Of course, along with meeting other immigration conditions, stipulated in Canadian immigration law, you can turn yourself into permanent residents who actively contribute to the country’s economy in a desirable and accessible manner in advance. Think of this program as an official invitation issued by the Canadian immigration department to strengthen and expand its financial stability together with you.

The Canadian Provincial Option

Of course, the business immigration program to Canada is a federal program, which opens its doors in a general business manner, but in addition, within this broad program, there is also the provincially oriented immigration program to Canada. Before you contact the immigration department of the Government of Canada, it is recommended to find out which provinces (such as Manitoba, Ontario, or Nova Scotia) have a demand for strategic business partnerships or a demand for potential investors, within a joint economic interest under which you will be accepted as permanent residents later on.
